A woman died and a man was critically wounded in a shooting Wednesday afternoon at an apartment complex in northwest Harris County.

The shooting happened about 12:30 p.m. in the 6400 block of York Meadows, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies were dispatched to the complex on an emergency call about a shooting. When they arrived they found the wounded man lying on the ground outside of an apartment. He had been shot more than once. The apartment door was open. Inside, deputies found the woman dead. Her name has not been released.

The man, whose name has not been released, was rushed to Ben Taub General Hospital. He was in critical condition.
